Thing is, it seems to me the Flames are well on their way, through the draft and prospect acquisition, in having that depth already. Zary, Posposil, Pelletier, Honzek, Shwindt, Stromgren, Brutzevich(so?), Piorier, Morin, Grutznikov, Coronato, Wolf, and you can top it off with 8 picks in the top four rounds at this years draft and I’d bet a healthy amount of picks next year and the following by the time those roll around. Flames need top of the rotation players who can carry the load more than depth at this point. If there’s a chance to add that top 15 pick, they should be all over.

Agreed with what you said but i am a little more leery about our system. I see multiple wingers who will be nhl’ers. Honzek, suniev, coronnato, pelts( starting to wonder though) klapka and stormgren as probable nhl guys. Past that im not so impressed. Lipinski may be our only center that actually plays nhl games, and most likely bottom six.
Our defence? Poirier have to give some slack from injuries but i dont see a lot in our defence prospects except maybe the new guys( brewster) will be happy to be wrong though.
I think even if pospisil doesnt go to nj i dont see a long career for him unfortunately, so will probably add to the list of players that leave and return nothing. ( mr pospisil please know this isn’t something i wish but dude thats a lot if concussions, stay healthy brother)
We have a lot if wingers couple of interesting goalies and one guy I consider a higher end prospect on defence. Besides that center and defence are massive holes in the organization.
